EXHIBIT B
INSTITUTE Usage Guidelines for Trademarks, Service Marks and Logos

Institute Trademarks and Service Marks should be used only to identify and distinguish the Institute as the source of goods or services produced or provided by the Institute.

Institute trademarks should not be used to:

Mislead or deceive the public as to the actual source of any goods, products or services.

Name an organization as a whole, as opposed to the products or services of the organization. (See "Trade Names," below.) Example: "The National Institute of Building Sciences was created by Congress in 1974" represents usage as a trade name. "The National Institute of Building Sciences" appearing on an Institute publication represents usage as a trademark.

Signify participation in or support for the activities of the Institute or its Councils or to identify a person or organization as a member of the Institute or of any of the Institute's councils or committees (see "Member Marks", below).

Promote or endorse the products or services of persons or entities other than the Institute. Certify that products or services of other persons or entities satisfy standards or requirements of the Institute (see "Certification Marks", below).

The Institute's registered marks and trademarks should be used with the "®", "™", or "SM" symbol as reasonably necessary to identify the product or service. The symbol need not be used every time the mark appears in the text of a publication.

Trademarks must be used in a consistent form to maintain the mark's ability to identify and distinguish the source of goods or services and to prevent public confusion or deception. Even small variations in a mark may create different marks.

A trademark should be set sufficiently apart from other words and designs so that the other words and designs are not perceived to constitute part of the mark, thereby creating a different mark and causing confusion.

Institute trademarks should never be used as a generic description. For example, the term "workforce guidelines" should not be used generically to refer to a range of labor-related information for workers, as opposed to specific products or services of the Institute or its Councils.

Institute trademarks should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun or verb, not in possessive or plural form, not in hyphenated form, and not combined with other words.

Under some circumstances, it may be appropriate to permit other persons or entities to display an Institute trademark in connection with the other's promotion or distribution of a product or service. Such permission should be granted only in the form of an appropriate licensing agreement. Trademark licensing agreements should prescribe the conditions under which the Institute's trademark(s) may be used; the proper form of the trademark to be used; an attribution requirement (e.g. "National Institute of Building Sciences" is a registered trademark of the National Institute of Building Sciences"); a right to review usage; and a right to revoke the license.

The Institute may from time to time create and claim new trademarks.
